Research indicates that abstaining from alcohol can lead to improved sleep quality, as even a small amount of alcohol in the evening can disrupt sleep patterns and prevent restorative sleep. A study from a Dry January challenge showed that 56% of participants reported better sleep without alcohol. However, experts advise that regular drinkers should reduce alcohol intake gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms like insomnia.
Participating in Dry January, abstaining from alcohol for the first month of the year, can lead to various health improvements. Within the first 24 hours, some may experience withdrawal symptoms like tremors and sweating. The most dangerous period for heavy drinkers is between 12 to 72 hours, potentially leading to severe symptoms like seizures. After a week, sleep patterns may start to improve, and by two weeks, weight loss could be noticeable. Blood pressure may improve by the third week, and skin health could be better by the end of the month. It's important to note that heavy drinkers should consult a doctor before quitting alcohol due to the risks of severe withdrawal symptoms.
